Support the arts...

I have renewed my ff.net membership, though not for the right reasons.

I really feel guilty about not feeling guilty about not wanting to support ff.net from even just a “support the arts” perspective.*

*If you at first do not understand the above sentence, do not try to re-read. It won’t help. Re-reading some of the illogical things that have come forth from my far from fertile mind has been scientifically proven to actually decrease understanding of said things.

In the end it became an “I should do this; I can do this; so I will do this” sort-of self-enforced penitence for never wanting to do it in the first place.

*Deep Breath*

This is it! I’m having myself committed. It’s the only rational thought left in my obviously irrational mind.

I’ll leave you with a quote from Anselm of Canterbury (who, by all accounts, suffered from the same hole-in-the-mind disease as I):

“For something can be thought to exist that cannot be thought not to exist, and this is greater than that which can be thought not to exist. Hence, if that-than-which-a-greater-cannot-be-thought can be thought not to exist, then that-than-which-a-greater-cannot-be-thought is not the same as that-than-which-a-greater-cannot-be-thought, which is absurd.”
